Sazón Espresso — Restaurant in Mount Barker

Fabulous Mexican Cafe. This Mexcan Cafe is Located midway on the sunny side of Gawler St, beside the Barker Hotel. It is set in a converted historic cottage, al fresco dining outside on the former verandah. The decor is an eclectic mix of old and new; exposed antique bricks on walls, marble bench tops, trendy metal stools, tables and chairs and also comfortable bench seating in rich burnt orange. Walls predominately white with a panel of colourful mexican tiles, and dark wooden floors setting it all off, very appealing and quite unique.

Overall what I ordered was not outstanding but I loved my experience there so much (service is great too) that I would go back to try their...

We were unsure about visiting for breakfast as menu refers to brunch. Arrived at 8.30 am Saturday before shopping in nearby Drake's, and already other customers. Good humming atmosphere, clean well laid out with pleasant outdoor option that still allows unrestricted rural view. We prefer a place offering the kind of food we wouldn't be trying at home, and the menu was full of such options. Turns out there were good, interesting and tasty breakfast options, which even satisfied finicky 16 year old son. Coffee was smooth and to our liking. Breads (Turkish and bagel) were softer than expected, but seemed wholesome and very nice. Service was friendly and food arrived quickly. Certainly...
